"---Left turn, no signal. A wrong has been righted in Bakersfield California.

The board of directors of the Bob Elias
Sports Hall of Fame selection board

in Kern County have finally selected Tom
O'Brien as an honoree.

Ohh... only about 30 years over due. Tom was one of
the most interesting men I've ever known.

He taped my ankles in Taft Union High School and
Taft College... I had no idea that major

West Coast colleges at the time sent their people to
observe just how he did it.

As a volunteer he coached two of the greatest
athletes ever to come out of Kern County

.... Mike Garratt and Dick
Russell and Leon Patterson... to stellar careers in
the shot put

and discus. Few small high schools have ever
boasted such a trio in the weight events
